The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

In that timeframe, China's doubled their grid and they were the same as us in 2010.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

So they're now twice as big.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

So that just shows you 15 years, you can double your grid if you want to.

And electricity production is highly linked to GDP.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

And so if you want to grow your GDP, you grow energy production and you do things with that energy.

We could be far, far ahead of where we are, but what's the best time to plant a tree?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

It's like 20 years ago or today.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

So I think finally people are coming around to the fact that we need to grow the grid.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

We need to do it with clean sources, scalable sources, reliable, and that's just nuclear.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

And so I'd say it was in the last couple of years that politically there's been support

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

for nuclear, both under this administration and a bunch of recent actions that are going to be very helpful, as well as the prior administration.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

And so we're finally seeing that unblock.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

The prior administration was into nuclear as well?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

Yeah, there was support for it.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

I didn't know that.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

Yeah, it's a couple of years ago really started

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

pushing on nuclear as something that needed to happen.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

So there was a large desire for these new advanced reactors that are even safer than existing ones.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

Existing ones are already the safest form of baseload energy, but even safer, smaller, easier to construct, hopefully much cheaper.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#211 Scott Nolan - CEO of General Matter on Uranium Enrichment

so there was a push around that starting a few years ago and in 2024 the last administration created a program for availability of that fuel for those reactors because all those reactors have no source of fuel right now other than
